Check your math. That's like adding a 35mm spacer to stock wheel.

I know my math. I have a nismo.

The rear fenders are rolled from factory, but not the front. What I'm trying to say is if you plan to lower your car in the long run, might as well get the right wheels instead of buying multiple sets unless you have deep pockets lol.

H&R springs though are the most aggressive drop you can buy though. If you're talking this is a performance car, that drop is way to low! The lower you go the more you bind the suspension components. That's why that $3000 billet shorter aftermarket spindle arm is a great idea. Its shorter than OEM and keeps everything at the right angle but lowers the car an inch.

Ok its a 22mm then. But take your wheels out of the equation. You ever see a 370 guy asking for a 35mm front spacer? We have the same body. 35mm would look horrible. Most go 25mm. I agree with KarotZ, plus 22 offset or even way more.

I kinda agree with you on that. If I am planning on keeping the car stock height I will probably get +25ish offset. But eventually I am going to lower my car. So +17 will tuck a bit with -2.5 camber. +5 might be perfect for me in that case. But then again, there is a chance I might raise my car back to stock height again. Then the +5 will have ridiculous poke I guess that I don't want. Just trying to find the middle ground that best suit my case.

Well here's stock with 9.5 +25. That's about -0.5 camber.

That's not too bad if you ask me. A little poke up front but probably won't be very noticeable.

Well -2.0 to -2.5 will be better. But that +25 is the max I'll go. Selling these to go 10" +38 which is 7mm further in. But they may not fit so I'll have to do a 5mm spacer so I'll only be 2mm in.

Yea if you plan to keep stock height and have less than -2 camber, 19x9.5 +30 would be perfect imo.

so now that you had lunch, perhaps you should recalculate why you think 19x9.5 ET30 is going to look 'okay' for stock height. :ugh: cause it wont and you will have lots of wind drag from your tank of a front tire. :ugh2:
